Please stop this. Civility is a two-way street, and we should afford even those who are critical of us some basic courtesy (that is the case even if they do not show the same courtesy in response).
I have put Parker Peters' new email address onto moderation, and that, I hope, is the end of the matter. If he/she wants to continue to contribute to the mailing list in a civil fashion, he or she is more than welcome to do so, via the moderation queue.
Civility is a two way street. But when people are abusing our good faith by creating problems on Wikipedia and then assuming differing identities to create a hostile environment on the mailing list, I think it's going too far in one direction to keep turning the other cheek. I'm a little disappointed people who abuse our good faith are offered such hospitality, but well aware I have the option open to simply ignore such behaviour from now on.
